Johnson and the Titans Not Close on a Deal

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports the Titans and holdout running back Chris Johnson are not close to a contract agreement. Despite a face-to-face meeting later Wednesday, Schefter says the two sides “are not expected to be much closer by the end of the day.

Stalemate continues.” It’s certainly a blow to those expecting significant progress today, but the fact remains that a dire sense of urgency isn’t here yet. There are still 18 days until the season starts, leaving a reasonable amount of time for an agreement.
